Mate searching in Ennya maculicornis (Membracidae: Polyglyptini) initiated by females: behavioural and acoustic descriptions
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
1. In treehoppers in which courtship has been studied, males initiate the search for females by periodically emitting a vibrational signal. The responses by the female are used by males as a beacon and give rise to a duet. ...
Mating-induced changes in responses of female Queensland fruit fly to male pheromones and fruit : a mechanism for mating-induced sexual inhibition
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
In order to reproduce, female tephritid fruit flies need both mates for fertilization and fruit for oviposition. Virgin females are prone to mating and approach males, attracted by their pheromones. Mated females, however, ...
Density affects mating mode and large male mating advantage in a fiddler crab
(Springer, 2010-12)
Fiddler crabs show two different mating modes: either females search and crabs mate underground in male burrows, or males search and crabs mate on the surface near female burrows. We explored the relationship between crab ...
Mating systems in caridean shrimp (Decapoda: Caridea) and their evolutionary consequences for sexual dimorphism and reproductive biology
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2003)
Faster male displays and less complex choice are more attractive to female fiddler crabs as they reduce search costs
(2017-02-01)
Females that quickly and accurately locate and assess males can reduce their risks of predation, dehydration and heat stress while mate searching. Here we measured the accuracy and time it took female fiddler crabs, Uca ...
The ontogeny of the female reproductive system in the parasitic castrator pea crab Calyptraeotheres garthi: Implications for its mating system
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2018-04)
The knowledge of the mating system of pea crabs is still fragmentary as it remains dubious whether females copulate in the juvenile and free-living ‘hard’ or in the obligatory symbiotic stages (adult stage ‘V’ or intermediate ...
Switching attraction to inhibition: Mating-induced reversed role of sex pheromone in an insect
(Company of Biologists, 2010-09)
In the moth, Agrotis ipsilon, newly mated males cease to be attracted to the female-produced sex pheromone, preventing them from re-mating until the next night, by which time they would have refilled their reproductive ...
Mate-searching behavior in the invasive German wasp, Vespula germanica, in Patagonia
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-07)
In order to increase the probability of reproduction, social insects can adopt various mate-finding strategies, such as increasing densities of males at specific locations, and/or visual and chemical cues that attract the ...
Agonistic behaviour and reproductive biology of squat lobsters
(Csiro Publishing, 2011)
Squat lobsters are ubiquituous in many benthic habitats yet very little is known about theirbehavioural ecology. In this contribution we synthesise reports of agonistic and reproductiveinteractions of squat lobsters in ...
